He who must not be named has just been named by Schiff, in an open letter to republicans

"To my Republican colleagues: When the president attacked the independence of the Justice Department by intervening in a case in which he is implicated, you did not speak out. When he attacked the press as the enemy of the people, you again were silent. When he targeted the judiciary, labeling judges and decisions he didn’t like as illegitimate, we heard not a word. And now he comes for Congress, the first branch of government, seeking to strip it of its greatest power, that of the purse."

"You have deplored his fundamental inability to tell the truth. But ... you have chosen to keep your misgivings and your rising alarm, private. That must end. The time for silent disagreement is over. You must speak out."

Seems like things are really coming to a head. A line will be drawn and people will have to choose their side...

Residents of another Manhattan building have voted to remove the Trump name.

For the second time in four months, the name “Trump Place" will come down from a New York building facade, after condo owners at 120 Riverside Blvd. voted to remove the name, following 5 other buildings doing the same.

just checking... nothing yet from trump on the white supremacists Coast Guard officer who was plotting to kill Democratic politicians and journalists?

Or nothing about election fraud in North Carolina - he was big on claiming there was lots of it... just he didn't want it to be GOP

You sound upset.

But residents are permitted to change the name of their building if they want so you'll just have to get over it.

If you want to see a real waste of time and money... look at what someone is trying to build on the southern border.
Very interested how, according to the article, trump branded properties have decreased in value since his election.

Just as Muellers office are about to drop their sentencing memorandum on Manafort, the Manhattan DA's office is preparing state criminal charges against Paul Manafort in an effort to ensure he'll still face prison time even if Trump tries to pardons him for federal crimes

Isn't this trumps friend

Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, has been charged in Palm Beach County with soliciting of a prostitute, according to Jupiter Police. The charges stem from an months long investigation into a massage parlor.

Kraft had his chauffeur drive him to the massage parlor. I guess that beats having your bodyguard arrange and escort women to your hotel room - that never happened...

You know you are in the hands of class when you are given a sober and detailed analysis of the subtext of a legal contretemps but they still manage to drop in the phrase 'epic rat-fker Roger Stone'.

I try and keep up with this thread as it's fascinating.
Question for those following closer than I... does this ring true?
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/02/22/italia...

Is it a well-timed indication that Pooty-poots has been repeating the campaign-funding-dressed-as-a-business-deal formula that we all suspect benefited Trump?
Of just some Italians MPs chancing their arm?

From the Jussie Smollett thread...

NoNeed said:
The left are trying harder than they have ever tried to smear Trump, and still, there's nothing, the local Police have found more evidence against Smollet in 2 weeks than Mueller has found on trump in 2 years.


It's about time they let him get on with the job he was elected to do
Hard to know where to begin really isn't it...

Just came to post about this...
Huge story breaking in Italy. Putin agreed to a request from Lega Nord leader Matteo Salvini to covertly finance his Euro election campaign. The plan was to conceal the payment behind an apparently normal business deal. Sound familiar to trump?

Google translate needs for the Italian site
http://espresso.repubblica.it/inchieste/2019/02/20...


Edit: so with trump it was the Secret Moscow Tower deal
With Brexit, it was Russia’s secret gold deal with Arron Banks
It was. Russian bank loan to Marine Le Pen’s party for the French presidential race,
Now Italy...

Hang on, bring out Sarah to defend trump with some nonsense.

After arrest of Coast Guard lieutenant, who allegedly amassed weapons and compiled list of Democratic lawmakers and journalists, Sarah Sanders says Pres. Trump hasn't "at any point" done anything "but condemn violence, against journalists or anyone else."

Did she forget about the time Trump applauded Montana Rep. Greg Gianforte for criminal violence against a journalist. He literally clapped.

"He has denied it," Trump says of Robert Kraft. Always interesting, with Trump to see who gets the benefit of the doubt and who doesn't

The police say they have video of Kraft in the act... what's up Donald, no AMI to catch and kill?
